Massive Airstrike! Ukraine hit Crimea right in the heart with Neptune missile! Crimean bridge closed

[Music] [Music] welcome to PPR Global as the war between Ukraine and Russia ignites on the Eastern Front Line Kiev has shifted its focus to the Crimean Peninsula changing the course of the war was the Ukrainian Army’s latest offensive operation against strategic Russian military Targets on the peninsula the events which began at midnight last night and lasted for an hour show that Russian military installations in Crimea have been heavily attacked loud noises were reported by locals about the activation of air defense systems in the Kirch region around the Crimean bridge and near The sevastopol Bays the Crimean wind telegram Channel shared some details of these events overnight the channel noted that the attacks on Russian military bases in Crimea were carried out with a variety of weapons let’s analyze all these developments in detail the first alert came at 033 local time the alarm signals heard in Russian military units near sevastopol signaled a perceived threat in the region following these signals the telegram Channel published a series of reports about the shooting down of drones flying over occupied Crimea and the resulting sounds the Drone strike on the Crimean Bridge was reported at 010 this attack attack can be considered as a strategic move aimed at cutting off Russia’s access to Crimea at the same time Neptune missile strikes on Kirch and Taman were reported at 014 which may have been aimed at disrupting Russian military mobility and Logistics information about airplanes taking off from belbeck Airfield and the sound of UAV flights over the sople district indicates that uavs are actively used for reconnaissance and strike missions loud noises heard in the seapo Bay Area May indicate the activation of Defense systems in the area or the occurrence of hostilities at 114 p.m. an attack by unmanned boats was reported in sevastopol such unmanned boats can cause serious damage to Port facilities or mored vessels meanwhile a local Crimean public page published more information about various attacks later in the night these included a drone attack on the Crimean Bridge attacks on Kirch and T with Neptune missiles and an attack by unmanned boats in sevastopol the intensity and coordination of the attacks pose a serious threat to the Russian military presence in the region the targeting of the Crimean bridge in particular emphasizes both its symbolic and strategic importance the bridge is Russia’s main artery of access to the peninsula and control over it is critical for military and logistical operations in the region these attacks have not yet been commented on by high ranking officials offal of the occupation Administration in Crimea The Silence of local officials such as the head of the occupation Authority Serge aiono and the governor of sevastopol mik rayv suggests that they are in the process of assessing the seriousness of the situation and its possible implications as these latest attacks show Russian forces are slowly losing their foothold in Crimea moreover not only military installations but also Russian naval capabilities are being worn down Ukrainian Navy spokesman dmitro penchuk announced that Ukrainian Defenders have successfully disabled a third of the ships in the Russian Black Sea Fleet plen chuk gave detailed information on the status of the ships damaged or destroyed he said that the Defense Forces destroyed a total of 28 Russian ships and missile carriers among them are more than 10 ships under repair and damaged in particular several ships including the frigs Admiral Essen and Admiral macarov are seriously damaged penchuk said that most of these ships will be out of service for a long time and parts needed to repair some of them are not available due to sanctions the spokesman also specifically highlighted the attacks on Russia’s large Landing ships these ships are polish built and built under the 775 project penchuk said that the repair of these ships was made more difficult by the refusal of the poles to service them he added that Russia has been trying to obtain the necessary parts to repair these ships to circumvent sanctions but without much success penchuk also provided information on the status of some of the most important ships of the Russian Fleet among the 28 ships destroyed are special units of which Russia has only a few these include the cruiser Moscow known as the flagship of the Russian Fleet large Landing ships and some important submarines the rostov on Dawn submarine Sergey kotov Ivanov Vas Beck and others have been damaged or destroyed what remains of the Russian Black Sea Fleet faces extreme difficulties in ensuring its survival in the Black Sea and its operational activities are now limited to defensive measures meanwhile the Crimean Peninsula once heralded by President Vladimir Putin as an Unsinkable aircraft carrier is facing intense pressure from Ukrainian forces what was once skepticism about using the term defeat to describe the state of the Russian Fleet is now turning into an acknowledgement of the dire conditions facing Russia’s Naval presence in the region following drone and missile attacks on the Black Sea Fleet reportedly supported by Special Forces activity grain and other trade through Ukrainian ports has slowly recovered with tonnages now approaching pre-conflict levels some may argue that the fleet’s ability to launch calber missiles over the Black Sea poses a persistent threat but it is important to rec recognize that effective targeting requires Precision surveillance and intelligence capabilities that Russia has already lost in the western Black Sea as a result caliber missiles no longer pose a significant threat to commercial vessels sailing between Odessa and Romanian Waters now after numerous waves of meat that Putin has sent to die along the front line the focus has shifted to the Crimean Peninsula extending beyond the Naval Base at sevastopol the deployment of us Supply atacms Army tactical missile system ballistic missiles coupled with President Biden’s decision to lift the ban on their use against targets inside Russia has effectively eliminated any safe missiles with a range of up to 300 km and the ability to carry a 500lb unitary Warhead or a cluster Warhead containing 950 bombs the atacms pose a significant threat to Russian assets and infrastructure one of the most critical targets for Ukrainian forces was the Kirch straight Bridge also known as the Crimean Bridge which connects Russia to Crimea and serves as a vital logistical supply line for Russian troops both on the peninsula and along the denpro front the 19 km Long Bridge consisting of parallel Road and rail Bridges was hit twice by Ukrainian forces in October 2022 and July 2023 despite the damage the bridges remain operational albeit with reduced capacity in response Russia built a new Railway line across the land bridge from the East and increased the use of roll on/ rolloff fairies in the Kirch straight to keep supplies flowing however the fairies have since been the target of atacam attacks and have become unusable as a result Crimea has only two main lifelines the newly built Railway and the damaged Kirch straight Bridge both of which are in range of Ukrainian atacam missiles while it remains unclear whether the US has provided Ukraine with the unitary Warhead atacam capable of completely destroying Bridges the ability to disrupt the Overland rail Supply route at will is a significant Advantage for Ukrainian forces although the railroad can be repaired relatively quickly due to the flat terrain its reliability as a Supply Route has been seriously compromised in light of these developments Russian forces took steps to strengthen their defenses around the Kirch Strait including the redeployment of eight previously storm damaged barrier barges to the southern side of the straight equipped with anti- USV pendants and possibly manned by armed Personnel the purpose of these barges is to limit the approach angles of Ukrainian unmanned surface Vehicles these usvs such as the mura V5 have proven their effectiveness in targeting Russian assets even against moving targets at Sea while barges pose a challenge for usvs operating independently they are unlikely to withstand a coordinated attack involving both missiles and usvs for example a Storm Shadow missile strike on one of the barges followed by a wave of usvs using the resulting Gap could overwhelm all existing defenses and potentially lead to the complete destruction of the Kirch straight Bridge Storm Shadow a British French and Italian air launched cruise missile with a range of more than 250 km and a 450 kg Warhead is designed to penetrate hardened targets and is well suited for such an operation moreover the simultaneous targeting of the Overland Railway line would exacerbate Russia’s Supply problems forcing them to rely on an already overburdened Road Network that would be vulnerable to Ukrainian artillery and missile attacks while railroads are generally easier to repair than Bridges increased Supply problems in Crimea would significantly reduce Russia’s ability to use the peninsula as a base of operations some analysts have even gun to consider the possibility of a Ukrainian amphibious Landing in Crimea this is a move that would allow them to outflank Russian defenses and avoid heavily fortified front lines along the denpro river while such an operation may seem Unthinkable to Western observers given Ukraine’s limited Naval resources and the inherent risks associated with amphibious assaults the latest intelligence suggests that Russia faces significant challenges in maintaining its military strength thank you for watching us [Music]
